All boys ....

Boys like to do things I don't get.

Like be sweaty.  Shoot guns.  Catch frogs.  Get dirty.  Hike.  Camp.  Study bugs.

They begged their dad to take them camping.  Not just any kind of camping.  But the camping where you carry all your stuff on your back.  And throw a sleeping bag on the ground and sleep under the stars.  Uh.  WHY????

But off they went ... for a night.  Hiked most the day.  Threw the sleeping bags down.  On the hard ground. Where it's cold.  And bugs can get you.  And bears can eat you.  They took MRE's and had those for dinner and breakfast.  And loved every second of it.  The very next week Eli was begging to do it again. Apparently dad didn't think it was as fun as they did ... because there was some persuasion ... to go ... to dinner instead!





Sean took them to Louisiana this summer.  To visit family ... and do more "boy stuff".








They absolutely LOVE going to Louisiana every year.  Total boy country ..

I asked Jackson to send me pictures ... case in point ... here's what I got ...




Bugs.  Guns.  Fireworks.  Fish.


This year ... they also went to see Mama Joy (Sean's mom) get married.  Pretty sure getting dressed nice wasn't the highlight but they had fun visiting family and sisters.



 I've always thought that Jackson looks like Kelsea and Kourtney ...

 And Eli looks like Krystal...



Mama joy and all her grandkids ... (sans Hayley)



Happy for my little guys that they have good family on both sides who love and adore them.

Also makes my heart happy that they get to take these mini trips with their dad ... to get "boy" time in.

OH MY GOSH! How did I miss this?! I LOVE that they hiked and went camping and did all that boy stuff. And seriously, the looks on their faces are priceless! Boys are just so BOY!! I LOVE THEM! And Jackson is SO dirty in that one pic! Haha. Love it. And NO Alana, Jackson looks LIKE YOU. Sorry. The twins are gorgeous but Jman looks so much like you its not even funny. Congrats to Mama Joy! She looked very pretty and happy. And Sean's bro looks nothing like him. Maybe it's the facial hair. hehe. What a fun posts! I love that we both have boys! They're so much fun!!
